Your engagement has shaped the collective voice and vision for BCHS.
We engaged with employees, medical staff, learners, volunteers, our foundation, community partners, community members, as well as staff from partner hospitals across the region, to gather their thoughts on what the future of healthcare should look like in our community.
Community Circle
Whether you’re an employee, volunteer, visitor, patient, or local community member, the “Community Circle” represents the connection we all take part in to shape our community.
Each “individual” that makes up the circle represents a member of the community’s voice and vision coming together to create one unified voice and vision for BCHS. Tying in with BCHS’s current colour scheme, we use different tones of purple, blue, yellow and green that are positive and vivid reflecting BCHS’s bright future ahead.
